Emigrants from Scotland to America, 1774-1775

Transcribed from old Treasury Papers in the Public Record Office in London, this work lists some 2,000 persons by age, station, occupation, residence in Scotland, destination in America, and reasons for emigrating. Various states along the eastern seaboard are noted as places of embarkation. This work is of great value in bridging the Atlantic during the tumultuous years 1774-1775.
